Chapter 877: Donghuang's Remnant Soul

"Good stuff!"

Yin Qi was delighted, and with a wave of his hand, he put it all away.

Upon reaching the depths of the Sun Star, all kinds of divine materials became increasingly abundant.

Even without deliberately searching, Yin Qi's harvest was extremely bountiful, filling an area of several hundred li in his Inner World.

Among these Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures, there were even materials for refining Post-Heaven Supreme Treasures.

Even a Saint would turn green with envy upon seeing them.

Finally, Yin Qi arrived at the core of the Sun Star.

The Sun True Fire here was actually not violent, because standing here was an ancient and weathered Sun God Palace, which seemed to have been formed naturally by Heaven and Earth.

The Sun God Palace was also the place where Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were nurtured in the past.

Yin Qi's pupils dilated, his heart filled with pleasant surprise.

Inside the Sun God Palace, there was not only the Eastern Emperor Bell, but the Fusang Tree was actually here as well; this was one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots.

What is Fusang?

Fusang, Fusang, it means two large mulberry trees supporting each other.

They were about nine meters tall, with lush branches and leaves.

Hanging upon them were large, black-red Sangzhen, emitting an alluring fragrance.

Fusang Sangzhen take one thousand years to blossom, one thousand years to bear fruit, and one thousand years to ripen, requiring three thousand years in total; each Sangzhen contains majestic and gentle solar power, having the effect of increasing cultivation and tempering the Primordial Spirit.

A single Sangzhen could be worth three hundred years of bitter cultivation.

And tempering the Primordial Spirit is equivalent to solidifying one's foundation, which is especially suitable for cultivators who have improved their cultivation through various shortcuts, as it can eliminate hidden dangers.

That Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were able to establish the Heavenly Court and win over hearts, this Fusang Tree also contributed significantly.

On this Fusang Tree, there were far more than one hundred thousand Sangzhen.

"Haha!"

Yin Qi laughed as he stepped forward, plucked all the Sangzhen from it, then cut off an arm-thick branch from each of the two mulberry trees, and flashed into his Inner World.

Several dozen meters away from the Bodhi Tree, Yin Qi planted the two branches side by side in the ground, and then the two branches began to grow wildly; they leaned against each other and soon grew to over three meters tall.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The Fusang Tree moved without wind, its branches swaying, and countless Sun True Fire drifted down from the sun.

These Sun True Fires flowed slowly from the crown of the tree to the roots like a spring.

Another Innate Spiritual Root had been collected.

Yin Qi was delighted; he flashed back outside and walked toward the gate of the God Palace.

As for this Fusang Tree, he naturally left it here; this way, he was equivalent to possessing two Fusang Trees, just as he had not transplanted the Enlightenment Tea Tree into his Inner World.

In the current Honghuang, only Lu Ya could come here.

However, Yin Qi prepared to set up an Array Formation when he left to seal this place off and keep Lu Ya from entering.

In fact, Yin Qi speculated that Lu Ya likely guessed the Eastern Emperor Bell was here.

Even if he couldn't guess that the Eastern Emperor Bell was here, he certainly knew the Fusang Tree was here, but the other party had never come, most likely for fear of being targeted by the various Saints.

An innocent man is guilty of his own treasure.

Lu Ya knew very clearly that even if he came here and took away the Eastern Emperor Bell, he would not be able to keep it.

Since that was the case, it was better to leave it here.

But now, it had become his gain.

The gate of the Sun God Palace was tightly shut, and there was even a restriction upon it.

However, this restriction was ineffective against Golden Crow bloodlines, so Yin Qi easily pushed open the gate and walked in; what met his eyes was a Bronze Great Bell suspended in the front courtyard, emitting a heavy and ancient aura.

The Eastern Emperor Bell.

No, from now on it should be called the Human Emperor Bell.

"Hoo!"

Yin Qi took a deep breath, calmed his excited emotions, and walked toward the Eastern Emperor Bell. Dong!

The Eastern Emperor Bell rang softly, Immortal Light bloomed, and it actually wanted to fly away.

As an Innate Supreme Treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell already had an Artifact Spirit with complete intelligence; the Golden Crow bloodline could deceive the restrictions of the Sun God Palace, but it could not deceive it, which is why it wanted to fly away.

But Yin Qi had long been prepared.

"Suppress!"

Yin Qi shouted softly, casting the 'Word Manifestation' divine ability.

Suddenly, an invisible, great power appeared out of thin air, pinning the Eastern Emperor Bell, which wanted to fly away, in place, and then, with lightning speed, swept the Eastern Emperor Bell into his Inner World.

He was worried that subduing the Eastern Emperor Bell outside would trigger the bell to ring and attract the attention of the various Saints.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Sure enough.

The Eastern Emperor Bell was trembling violently, and the sound of the bell rang throughout the Inner World.

This was both a manifestation of its desperate struggle and a hope to attract the various Saints, making Yin Qi hesitate to act.

But unfortunately, this was Yin Qi's Inner World.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... book....!

Yin Qi shouted softly: "Eastern Emperor Bell, be quiet, take a good look at this place, what exactly this place is. This is the Inner World I have cultivated; even the power of the Heavenly Dao cannot enter, you cannot escape.

Also, I am the current Human Emperor, a Peak Great Luo, about to achieve the status of a Quasi-Saint.

Although I cannot compare to the Donghuang Taiyi of the past for now, my future achievements will definitely be above his.

Therefore, I hope you will think about it calmly."

"Will you submit to me willingly, or must I forcibly refine you?"

The Eastern Emperor Bell remained unmoved, its struggle even growing more intense; the rapid, urgent tolling of the bell felt as if it were striking directly at one's heart, causing even Yin Qi's blood and Qi to churn.

"Hmph, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

Yin Qi let out a cold snort.

He mobilized the power of his entire Inner World to pin the Eastern Emperor Bell in place, then strode forward, his vast magic power surging out as he began to forcibly refine the Eastern Emperor Bell.

"Audacious!"

Just at this moment, the situation suddenly changed; a domineering and cold voice emanated from the Eastern Emperor Bell, shaking Yin Qi until he felt dizzy, while at the same time, he sensed a wisp of a Primordial Spirit charging into his mind.

"A mere Great Luo of the Human Race dares to covet this Emperor's Eastern Emperor Bell? You shall become a puppet slave for my nephew in the future."

The domineering and sharp voice carried a sense of looking down from on high.

It was the remnant soul of Donghuang!

Yin Qi had not expected that even though Donghuang Taiyi had fallen for over a hundred thousand years, a wisp of his remnant soul had not yet dissipated.

No wonder the Eastern Emperor Bell had fled into the Sun Star, and no wonder it had resisted so fiercely before.

The remnant soul of Donghuang, even if it was just a remnant, was absolutely not something a Peak Great Luo could contend with; if it were anyone else, they would likely truly fall here today and become a puppet slave for Lu Ya in the future.

But clearly, Yin Qi was no ordinary person.

"Ah..."

"What is this..."

"No..."

The remnant soul of Donghuang had charged into the depths of Yin Qi's mind, intending to forcibly refine Yin Qi's Primordial Spirit, only to see a vast and majestic Luck Altar standing tall there.

Even when facing the Dao Ancestor in the past, he had never felt this sense of insignificance.

Hum, hum!

With a powerful enemy invading, the Luck Altar vibrated slightly, and then a beam of Chaos Divine Light shot out, transforming into a large hand that grabbed the remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi before rapidly retracting back into the Altar.

A moment later, an extremely massive stream of information surged into Yin Qi's mind.

It was the memories of Donghuang Taiyi's entire life.

From his birth on the Sun Star, to traveling the Honghuang with Di Jun, to listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, to creating the Heavenly Court and contending for hegemony with the Wu Clan, and finally, after three great decisive battles, perishing together with the Ancestral Witches who self-detonated.

Donghuang Taiyi's life was magnificent and epic; he was a born protagonist, a legend that had passed away.

From these memories, Yin Qi not only learned many secrets of the Honghuang—which differed in many ways from the Honghuang-genre settings of his past life—but he also gained Donghuang Taiyi's cultivation memories spanning tens of millions of years.

In particular, the memories of Corpse Severing completely shattered Yin Qi's Quasi-Saint bottleneck. (End of this chapter)
